I can only surmise that fans are either bi-polar or it's just a sign of the internet times that people love to be outraged. I could quote hundreds of posts from fans at this site asking for Wideman to be benched, traded, banished to the AHL. This isn't a small group of fans as almost everyone here is guilty of saying something along these lines this season including me.
Fast forward and the guy gets a 20 game suspension that most in the hockey world have deemed fair and the same fans that wanted him anywhere but on the Flames bench are outraged like someone just robbed the Flames of a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
The decision has been made and barring an appeal it is what it is. Time to look forward to tonight's game and the rest of the season.
